Men's Shed News

Robert Fraser from Rolleston Men's Shed

The Future of Fund Raising:

WebFair is a new concept in Fund Raising and was born in our very own Selwyn district.  Launching in June 17, WebFair invites people to GIFT items they no longer want or need to a Community group of their choosing.  The goods are then auctioned on-line during a week-long Fair Bonanza with the money being paid to the Community Group chosen.   Think Trade-me meets Givealittle.  No garage sale mess to clean up, no storage issues, everything is on-line.   Gifting starts on the 2 June and Bargain hunting starts on the 25th June and goes through until the 2nd July.  www.webfair.co.nz... Give it a go and support our local Rolleston Men’s Shed. This is an ongoing market and the auction is always on the last week of the month. Thank you for your support.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
